To get a perfect score, each team on the alliance would need to get and place a tube every 18 seconds (assuming 15 seconds at the end for minibot missions).
If you look at each robot placing a tube every 29 seconds, the best raw score is a 28 (6 hi, 5 medium)
In our human player simulations, the best match we turned in was 9 tubes. ( 9 tubes is each alliance robot placing a tube every 35 seconds). The best raw score for 9 tubes is 24 (6 hi, 3 medium).
If we can't do a high placement, the best score we can achieve in teleop mode with 9 tubes is 15 (6 med, 3 lo). This is the same score as placing 5 tubes, all hi. at 63 seconds per tube.

You might want to double check your math... specifically, with regards to <G66>:

If three LOGO PIECES form a LOGO, the assigned points from the SCORING PEGS in that row of that SCORING GRID are given as an additional LOGO BONUS, effectively doubling the score of the row.
|
With that rule, the point values can be a lot higher... and that's what most teams will attempt while placing their tubes.
Also, don't forget the Ubertubes! In addition to scoring points for themselves, they score points for anything placed over them, per <G65>

The PEG SCORE is the sum of points determined by the positions of the GAME PIECES on each SCORING GRID. A LOGO PIECES HANGING in front of an UBERTUBE doubles the points for that SCORING PEG. The table below gives the value for each GAME PIECE HANGING on a SCORING PEG.

So, if we take your best case scenario above:

Add 3 Ubertubes to the top row and line up the logo's 3 times, you'll end up with a total of 82 points!
The question posed in this thread is a very important one. The number of tubes placed has a huge impact on what portion of the game is most important. Placing a minibot can score up to 30 points... in order for a single robot (with no help from its alliance members at all) to get that, it has to place an uber tube and 3 regular tubes that form a logo, all on the top row.
